A memorial honoring the thousands of people who died in racist lynching, the first of its kind in the country's history, opens in Montgomery, Alabama, on the same week the state celebrates Confederate Memorial Day. The National Memorial for Peace and Justice is a chance to talk about racial inequality and to "deal honestly with this history," according to the legal advocacy group and project founder Equal Justice Initiative.
